SOLD! Guess how I know? :grin

I'm looking at a pair of Renault Dauphines that can be made into 1, and would like to talk to someone who knows the later Dauphines. Both appear to be about 1964. The 'good' car is solid and complete except for the drivetrain. Someone started to convert it to an electric car, bolting a large electric motor to the transaxle, but making no alterations to the car itself. The parts car has a running engine and the automatic transmission. (Not the magnetic clutch with the stick shift). I'd appreacite an email or call at your convenience to get some pointers on parts, info onw hat I need to move the engine (does the flywheel interchange between the standard and automatic?), and other info.

Is there a draft schedule of seminars available yet for the 2012 Annual Membership Meeting next month? Thanks.

I have a 1976 Dodge Aspen SE station wagon (yeah, yeah, who drives an ASPEN?) that is very clean and original. It has the wide expanses of woodgrain vinyl on the sides that still look very good when hit with some Meguire's Vinyl Dressing. However, they have some white clouding in palces that show up whent he dressing wears off - it loks like it might be old wax. My question is, what is a good method to clean and preserve the 'natural beauty' of my fake wood?

As Steve noted, this issue was addressed and handled in a thorough and professional manner. AACA's Judging System is the best out there, and it's obvious the club is working to keep making it better.

I recently judged a show where the chassis judge correctly identified radial tires as a major deduction for two of the cars. Although the team captain admitted that the cars never came with radials, he said that 'they were around' in the year the car was made and said not to make the deductions. The chassis judge chose not to argue the point any further, and the deductions were not taken. Since I was not the chassis judge, I decided that it was not my place to argue the point.
While I am all for making the hobby fun and do not want to nit-pick anyone, this was very unfair to those in the class who had gone to the trouble and expense to put correct tires on their vehicles. It was also a disservice to the owners who would then go to the expense of taking the car to the next level show and lose when the deductions ARE taken. If the Team Captains are not going to uphold AACA standards, then what good is the whole system?

<T><FOBT face=Arial~Over 100 photow at: 1950 Ford Crestliner for Sale.</P>
ACCESSORIES: Fog lights (new), spotlight, front and rear deluxe bumper guards, radio, heater, overdrive, front stone guards (new), side window sun shades. Radio has all new tubes
BODY - Trim, glass, and top were stripped and the exceptionally straight and clean sheet metal was painted a rich metallic red (non-original color) and gloss black. All of the unique Crestliner trim is straight and shiny, with new Crestliner script. New reproduction inner rocker panels were installed. There are a few very small nicks here and there. The car has a complete new and correct wiring harness. Most of the chrome was retlated, and tha rubber seals fcr front and rea~ windows and weather stripping were replaced. The windshield is new. A new reproduction top was installed over cleaned and painted sheet metal.
INTERIOR - All new - red and grey stripe fabric seats, with black carpet, and black headliner are period-correct and beautiful. Custom fitted clear covers protect the seats. The trunk has also been redone with a correct reproduction trunk mat and matching wide whitewall spare. All gauges work, as do the radio and heater.
MECHANICALS - Smooth and powerful engine has no issues - runs and drives extremely well with the burble of dual exhaust. The engine bay has been detailed - the air cleaner still has its original paint and decals and shows some wear, but was left as-is. A fresh tune-up, all new rubber hoses, cooling system flush, and fuel system cleaning were performed. The transmission shifts smoothly with plenty of clutch, and the overdrive works smoothly. The brake system was completely gone through, with a new master cylinder and lines as required.
SELLING FOR $17,900 - Current NADA book value for the 1950 Crestliner (As of 3/13/10) is $14,725 average and $20,275 high (Note that NADA does NOT include Level 1 show cars as part of their high rating) An almost identical car is listed in the March 2010 Hemmings Motor News for $20,850. Although this car is not a 100-point perfect show car, it is in exceptional condition throughout, and would be competitive in national level-shows. It is a bargain at the price and certainly a more reliable investment than any stock. Not to mention a lot more fun.
This Crestliner stops smooth and straight. You can drive this car anywhere, any time. Tires are matched B.F. Goodrich wide whitewalls in near-new condition, with an excellent set of the rare Crestliner-only full wheel covers. The car is located in Chesapeake, VA.

Tidewater Region and the AACA in general lost a valued and dear freind tonight - Merritt Horne was one of the first members of TRAACA when it was chartered in 1955, and remained an active and enthusiastic ambassador for our hobby right up to the end. Visitors to our region's national events may remember him as the cheerful greeter with a straw hat and candy-striped sportscoat. He was a regular attendee at events all around Virginia, usually driving there in the 1940 Packard 160 sedan that was his pride and joy for 40 years. Our members will miss his warm smile, quick wit, and gentle humor, especially the silly stories that always began with the introduction "Picture this..."

I ran across a really nice 1940 Buick Super 4-door sedan in Hanover, MA today - it is an all original car including paint and interior, about 50K original miles. The owner bought it in 1964, and used it for limited pleasure dirving. The paint and chrome need attention, but the body is solid and the original interior is very nice. Black with gray cloth, new blackwall tires. The engine compartment is original and needs detailing, but the motor runs well and everything works except for the Speedometer. It has the factory radio. I took a few photos of the car, which is not advertised anywhere. I live in Virginia, or else I would be sorely tempted. The owner wants $8,000 for the car. I will add photos later this week when I get home. Email me at posti@aol.com for contact information. I'd love to see an AACA member get this car. Bob Stein

Hiya! The cars have been sold. And as you might guess, at a rather large loss - serves me right, I guess. However, the cars are going to another AACA member who knows Packards and should do a great job of putting the coupe together. All parts, literature, etc., went with the cars.

SOLD!
1939 Packard 120 Coupe AND Sedan for Sale at major loss!! $19,000- A pair of solid 8-cylinder Packard with many extra parts and almost every piece of literature put out for the cars. I've lost interest and would like to get them to someone who will finish the coupe up. Both cars run and are titled in my name (Virginia). See more info at www.caroholic.com. Contact Bob Stein (757) 588-6200 or email to posti@aol.com. Cars are located in Norfolk VA.
OPERA COUPE - The original start of the project. This most desirable of the closed models has the folding back seats. The drivetrain and chassis components were all rebuilt, most chrome redone by Royal Silver, dash and windows woodgrained. I had the entire body media blasted by Flatlanders in pieces and then had it professionally prepped and painted in Packard maroon. The door and trunk fit is flawless. The seats have been reupholstered, and a full roll of correct mohair fabric is included. New Rhode Island wiring harness, tires, new glass, most new rubber from Steele, new reproduction hubcaps from Bill Hirsh. New complete exhaust system, glass wing hood ornament, radio, heater, new spare parts (ignition, fan belts, brake shoes, etc.), boxes of new and used parts.
SEDAN - Bought sight unseen from an estate in Maryland to be a 'parts car' and guide for assembling the Coupe, the sedan was parked in 1959 with 62,000 original miles when the original owner died (Still has the 59 plate on the front). I am the second owner and have the original title. After it sat for 40+ years, I got the car running one week after I got it home. I put on new tires, rebuilt the brakes, and drove it around the neighborhood a couple of times. The engine has one set of rings that are stuck or broken, and it smokes until that plug fouls. It drove great, however. It is solid and complete, with banjo wheel, radio, heater, and steering column fan.

A friend in the club has a 1926 Cadillac V-8 - he has been trying to get running for 5 years. He has a distributor with bad internal parts. Anyone out there have a good used distributor for a 1926 Cadillac V8?
-
Hiya! That looks like a 1948 sedan. mechanical brakes, Cobra tin engine. Pretty far gone - hardly looks like amuch in the way of parts left.
-
I was curious if anyone else had looked at the 1899 J.B. Brewster Buggy currently listed on eBay for $10,000. This 'Amazing Restoration' features some extrememly 'amazing' technology for 1899 - modern distributor and coil, belt-drive generator, Carter carberator, standard transmission, etc. Looks to me like someone created thier own 1899 vehicle for fun - now it is being passed off as the real thing!

I am getting a new double parking pad and driveway installed at the house this weekend - I'd like to seal the new concrete from inevitable oil stains (I own a Crosley, a Willys, an MG, and two 1939 Packards. OK, the Packards are too well-mannered to leak, but the rest have no manners at all!). Anyone out there have suggestions on a good sealer?
-
I have a Delco-Remy generator, tag# 620 206. Can anyone tell me what it fits? It appears to be an early thirties generator based on the tag design and number, but I have not been able to locate a 620 series in any listing.

I have to disagree with the feedback on BumperBoyz - I got both my front and rear bumpers for a 1951 Studebaker Land Cruiser from them two years ago. The bumpers were perfectly straight and blemish-free, and the plating was bright and even. The car is stored outside in a carport with a cover, and there is no deterioration I have seen. They delivered the bumpers to a show close by, and took my rather shabby exchange items in without complaint. I would certainly use them again.
-
Does anyone know if Proper MG has gone out of business? They are not answering phones or email, and an outstanding order of mine is long overdue.
-
Does anyone out there have some cheap Model T 30" x 3-1/2" Model T tires in serviceable condition? I'm looking for some for a 50-year member of AACA with limited finances and a 1924 T with bald tires. Any help appreciated.

I am about to detail and touch up my 1951 Studebaker Land Cruiser, and have new fender welting for the rear fenders. I have seen this both painted and non-painted (black) on restored cars. Does anyone know what the correct version is? I have not been able to find any factory period photos that help.
Thanks!

Does anyone know a supplier or substitute for the A/C solenoid that controls freon flow on the factory A/C system in a 1954 Packard Pacific?

I'm helping a friend put together a 1960 Lincoln 4-door hardtop that we did not take apart. The trunk latch assembly appears to be missing a pawl for the release lever - the pawl is the part that is turned by the lock cylinder shaft. Anyone know a source or have one available? May need the entire latch assembly (manual).
Also, is there a source for photos of the car interiors? I have to reassemble the door panels - may be fairly straightforward, but any guide would help.
Many thanks!
